Protective Shell
Defensive shield spell Carl also knows, which King Rust carries at level 15.
Story so far
Reading King Rust's spell list through Size-Up, Donut notes that most of his dozens of spells are level one but some run from level 11 to 15, and that none look useful in the current fight except all those shield spells. Chief among them: "He has that same Protective Shell as you, but it's level 15!"—a direct and unwelcome comparison with Carl's own version. The stolen spellbook is credited to Rust's necklace of Indelible Woe.
Role
Shield spell that makes the orc king hard to kill in a straight fight.
Relationships
King Rust — Holds it at level 15.
